To get up and running it's confusion if an older version is shown. I've also added an instruction to show all possible switches but as that returns a huge list, I'm wondering if that might be too much for the up and running. On the other hand, it would be good for new people to find a list of possible releases they can use.

see for example this question: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/are-ocaml-install-instructions-up-to-date/9941

Maybe the instructions should point to https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/releases?

Thanks for the PR @tcoopman and for the review @Octachron!

This is making the doc better, so let's merge it now, but I agree it would be nice to have a solution so that the documentation doesn't get outdated after every OCaml release. A PR that updates the doc to point to the release page would be welcome 🙂

A link would always be a little less ergonomic that a plain text that can be read directly. Maybe the best solution would be to allow templating the last version of OCaml in md files too?
